Cathy - I have looked at your profile and there is nothing about masaturbation. Perhaps your computer has caught some bizarrely specific virus.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 15:45 (twenty-one years ago)

she actually was claiming to be royalty. She was in Nigerian but her profile said South African, so I've no idea what kind of princess she might have been. I was not interested because a) she is thousands of miles away and b) her profile went on about God a lot.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 15:46 (twenty-one years ago)

Perhaps it was part of an elaborate scheme to defraud you. Did she mention anything about having to move royal funds out of the country?

I like the idea of OKCupid being hijacked by Nigerian criminals.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 15:49 (twenty-one years ago)

it's much, more interesting, especially if you think of them hijacking it by force (with masks and kalishnikovs and things) although how you'd take a website by brute force i'm not sure.

Kidnap the server?

― jel -- (jel), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 16:38 (twenty-one years ago)

I just tried to delete my profile, but something went wrong, and now I have an extant profile that I am not able to access and/or delete. Thanks, Okcupid!

― nabisco (nabisco), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 16:43 (twenty-one years ago)

There are plenty of the Nigerian scam things going on through some dating sites, which hardly adds to its plausibility, but this one didn't hint in that direction at all. It seemed a genuine profile and real personal message.

WTF???

Not terribly work safe btw

― Aaron W (Aaron W), Wednesday, 11 August 2004 19:54 (twenty-one years ago)

not terribly "i want to have sex again someday" safe either.

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 11 August 2004 19:55 (twenty-one years ago)

Mum!

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 11 August 2004 19:57 (twenty-one years ago)

Why has this girl constantly her right arm behind her head? It looks like she's going to stab you.

― Alba (Alba), Thursday, 12 August 2004 18:59 (twenty-one years ago)

So you can spell her armpit

― Aaron W (Aaron W), Thursday, 12 August 2004 19:07 (twenty-one years ago)

a-r-m-p-i-t

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 12 August 2004 19:09 (twenty-one years ago)

I have now deleted my profile. I could not face the guilt of not replying to another message.

― Alba (Alba), Thursday, 12 August 2004 22:03 (twenty-one years ago)

logged in for the first time in a week today & had gotten two woos w/in two hours, but they've been the only two people to woo me in the two or so weeks I've been on here!

haha um nabisco I sent you a message a week ago on okcupid because it was the only way I could think to contact you! had no idea yr account had gone feral, um, could you please sent a blank email to stevie dot kaye at gmail dot com? & I'll cut'n'paste the message?

OMG OMG OMG GAYDAR GAME!!!!!!11111111111111111111111111

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 22:27 (twenty-one years ago)

OK, so how does this here thing work?

I've been clicking through photos for ten minutes and haven't found one single dirty dronerock boy yet. :-(

― Super-Masonic Black Hole (kate), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 13:09 (twenty-one years ago)

Wait, I stand corrected. I have found my dream man, but he lives in Canada. Typical!

― Super-Masonic Black Hole (kate), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 13:13 (twenty-one years ago)

one month passes...

Do we all still do this? I decided to update my profile.

― jel -- (jel), Sunday, 19 September 2004 15:03 (twenty-one years ago)

one month passes...

This guy is currently stranger arranged with the OKCupider I've fallen rather strongly in love with. Look at his favourite bands list.

― Chairman ROFLMAO (Dom Passantino), Thursday, 21 October 2004 14:43 (twenty-one years ago)

This guy is currently stranger arranged with the OKCupider I've fallen rather strongly in love with

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Thursday, 21 October 2004 18:31 (twenty-one years ago)

ie This person has been linked up via the new "stranger arranger" feature with the okcupid user Dom has taken a fancy to.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 21 October 2004 18:32 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh, I didn't know there was a such thing as the stranger arranger. I just thought someone was high.

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Thursday, 21 October 2004 18:41 (twenty-one years ago)

Well, that too.

I've been playing on okcupid a lot lately. There are lots of funny tests now and there's pretty girls on there who are interesting and stuff.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 21 October 2004 18:48 (twenty-one years ago)

agreed, some of these girls are going to be total catches when they grow up

― mark p (Mark P), Thursday, 21 October 2004 18:52 (twenty-one years ago)

I have too, recently.

― Ronan (Ronan), Thursday, 21 October 2004 18:53 (twenty-one years ago)

hey you know the picture rating thing that doesn't really seem to do much? did you guys know that there's a secret 'hot' list that they only tell you about if you're on it?

― Kim (Kim), Friday, 22 October 2004 00:25 (twenty-one years ago)

Kim, shhh!

― Paul Eater (eater), Friday, 22 October 2004 01:01 (twenty-one years ago)

oh yeah right, it's "top secret". I'd better watch my back.

― Kim (Kim), Friday, 22 October 2004 01:04 (twenty-one years ago)

Astonishingly I didn't know about that, but Kim did - how extraordinary!

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Friday, 22 October 2004 10:35 (twenty-one years ago)

seven months pass...

TOO FUCKING HOT

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Monday, 23 May 2005 19:46 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh goodness, I thought I was the only ilXor to have one of these. I thought the rest would stay away. I'm dead wrong.

― Ian Riese-Moraine is on toffuti break! (Eastern Mantra), Monday, 23 May 2005 20:44 (twenty-one years ago)

property_two if anyone feels like venturing.

― Ian Riese-Moraine is on toffuti break! (Eastern Mantra), Monday, 23 May 2005 20:52 (twenty-one years ago)

Congratulations. You've been chosen for the 'Hot List'; according to our matching algorithm, you're currently one of the 2500 most desirable people on OkCupid.

The complete list is here:
http://www.okcupid.com/hotlist

Number #2358 is YOU. We compile this thing every night, and you could move up or down, depending on who's born.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Monday, 23 May 2005 21:01 (twenty-one years ago)

Congratulations, Andrew! I am just relieved I haven't had a "Commiserations. You have been chosen for the 'Cold List' - you are currently one of the 2500 least desirable people in the world."

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Monday, 23 May 2005 21:15 (twenty-one years ago)

two months pass...

So yeah, am I the only ILXor still using OKC? The quality of my matches has increased exponentially in the past few weeks, yay me.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Friday, 5 August 2005 13:12 (twenty years ago)

Is it worth signing up?

― Alec Tea-Skirt (kate), Friday, 5 August 2005 13:15 (twenty years ago)

I am on there but it's largely useless due to my lack of ability to fill in a profile.

― tissp! (the impossible shortest specia), Friday, 5 August 2005 13:15 (twenty years ago)

I've not looked in ages, i've received a few mails lately but they've been binned unopened.

― leigh (leigh), Friday, 5 August 2005 13:16 (twenty years ago)

no one ever replies to my messages :(

(but then again my profile is representative of some weird dude who cuts himself)

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 5 August 2005 13:17 (twenty years ago)

haha xpost i bet i sent you one of those leigh

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 5 August 2005 13:18 (twenty years ago)

It is worth signing up, but probably only if you're actually looking for a partner. It's too much effort to just find "friends", to be honest. And you need to answer at least 1,000 questions for your results to be of any use, but then again, office boredom will see that pass in about three hours.

I recommend it.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Friday, 5 August 2005 13:18 (twenty years ago)

Actually, I was on it last year. And I met exactly one dude. Who, coincidentally, actually had ginger hair and a pointy nose. But it just kind of fizzled out. Mainly because I wasn't feeling very pro-sex or pro-relationship at all.

― Alec Tea-Skirt (kate), Friday, 5 August 2005 13:19 (twenty years ago)

I've looked back at my deleted mail and they seem to consist of geeky guys in their early 20s with awful taste in music and a fondness for Terry Pratchet.

― leigh (leigh), Friday, 5 August 2005 13:24 (twenty years ago)

Now I remember why I deleted my profile... just couldn't be bothered to return any emails. Sigh. I liked the taking tests bit, though.

― Alec Tea-Skirt (kate), Friday, 5 August 2005 13:26 (twenty years ago)

I do love how it's got my personality down pat:

Compared to males his age:

He's sloppier
He's less trusting
He's cruder
He's less organized
He's greedier
He's more independent
He's more introverted

Don't all rush at once girls.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Friday, 5 August 2005 13:29 (twenty years ago)

stop boasting about not bothering to reply to mail(male) please! dammit i'd be lucky to have any to reply to. :\\

although i actually met up with a girl from there one time (way way back from when it all started though). I wonder if okcupid has lost the momentum.

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 5 August 2005 13:31 (twenty years ago)

I used to get lots of mail when I signed in last spring, but nowadays, nothing. I also met a girl through OKCupid who turned out to be a bit scary, and that got me off it for awhile. But I rechecked it a while ago, and now I've exhchanged mails with someone interesting. Most of my top matches in Finland seem to be Goths and roleplayers, I'm not sure why.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Saturday, 6 August 2005 12:17 (twenty years ago)

I just changed my profile a little bit and now a million people are trying to IM me. I guess that's the secret.
